2 And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.

2 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -

2 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

3 And when the earth is stretched forth,

3 And when the earth is flattened out,

3 Waitha alardu muddat

4 And has cast out all that was in it and became empty.

4 And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,

4 Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

5 And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.

5 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).

5 Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

6 O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did).

6 O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.

7 Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,

7 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

8 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

8 Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

9 And will return to his family in joy!

9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

9 Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

10 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,

10 But he who is given his Record behind his back, -

10 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

11 He will invoke (for his) destruction,

11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

11 Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

12 And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.

12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

12 Wayasla saAAeeran

13 Verily, he was among his people in joy!

13 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

13 Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

14 Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!

14 Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

14 Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

15 Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!

15 Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

15 Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

16 So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

16 So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

16 Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

17 And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,

17 The Night and its Homing;

17 Waallayli wama wasaqa

18 And by the moon when it is at the full.

18 And the Moon in her fullness:

18 Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

19 You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).

19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

19 Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

20 What is the matter with them, that they believe not?

20 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -

21 And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.

21 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

21 Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

22 Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).

22 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

22 Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

23 And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),

23 But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

23 WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

24 So announce to them a painful torment.

24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

24 Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

25 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.

25 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
